Is it consensus among cosmologist that there is probably at least one type of multiverse? Is there any renowned physicist who rejects the idea of multiverse? I'm not talking about those who claim it's ...

Does the lack of absurdities in our universe call into question the validity of multi verse theories?
If the theories about multi verse are to be true and we have explained the immensely improbable ...

I'm a complete noobe in physics and quite honestly need help. My question is simple, based on CERN's tentative findings stating the Higgs boson at a mass of ~125 GeV: Is the physics community leaning ...

Theorists (physicists) suggest that there is the term/entity, the Multiverse that contains a huge number of universes not necessarily like our own.
I personally find this theory very elegant because ...

With the discovery of gravitational waves, Max Tegmark has been using this to promote his level 1 multiverse in that the universe is open (non-compact) and everything duplicates.
My question is, are ...

Could it be plausible that the same theoretical string "shape" occurs twice.
As in two or more universes with the same amount of dark energy and string shape.
The term "shape" I'm defining as based ...

I've been reading up on the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, and there is one thing (among many) that I really don't understand. How many worlds are 'created' by an 'observation' or ...

I was pondering about this question for a while now. And with my limited knowledge of physics I can answer myself - if parallel universe theory is true and if indeed there is gravitation leakage from ...

No expert by any means, but sometimes, in different contexts the term multiverse used. In quantum mechanics, some say that it is possible that there are actually many universes where all the possible ...

The universe expanded from nothing, right? And black holes may be a "gate" to parallel universes, is it possible that stars that is being sucked in by black holes in our universe may be the origin of ...

According to many physicist what ever goes near to a black hole is pulled by it sucked up in a parallel universe. As far as i know black holes are also made up of material particles as any other thing ...

Assuming the following
A universe is the surface from a bubble in hyperspace.
Inside a bubble there is nothing, only the surface represents a
universe. The size of the bubble is time.
Dark matter is ...

I'm reading a book about string theory, and it tells me in the future it could be possible to detect existence of other bubble universes through cosmic background radiation. Is this true? What could ...

There is the specific universe we live in, the "actual" universe with planet Earth, humans evolving, and us discussing metaphysical debates on physics.se in 2012, etc. There might or might not also ...

Scientists are talking about our universe not being the only universe, but even if that is true, how can we prove the existence of multiverse? We are being 'confined' in this universe and there is no ...

I don't have a clear picture of what is "by definition" the multiverse appearing in the models of eternal inflation. A long time ago I heard that it is a quantum state, but in the cosmology books I ...

I have a question that I would like to ask here since I'm not an expert or any near to that.
Actually I just came up with this question when I was watching The fabric of cosmos.
I couldn't find where ...

Where does the wave function of the universe live?
Please describe its home.
I think this is the Hilbert space of the universe. (Greater or lesser, depending on which church you belong to.)
Or maybe ...
